Discuss in your group what activities will be completed when and who will do what (the first ones are done for you)? Everybody has to come to the meetings that are printed in bold (= fett gedruckt)!

Suggestions for the Biomass group
Around Zurich there are many forested areas e.g. behind the Irchel campus of the Uni or at the bottom of Uetliberg. It would be intesting to find out: How productive these forests are? How much energy is contained in 100m2?
A challenge for this group could be - how much energy is contained in 100m2 of Zurich forest?
1. Using a tape measure (30m) count how many trees are found in 100m2 of Zurich forest. e.g. 200 trees.
2. Then calculating the size of an average tree in the forest e.g. 10 m height with a 1m diameter trunk.Use the equation for the volume of a cylinder.
3. How much wood is in one tree using the denisity of pine (you can find this online).
4. Burn a small amount of pine wood and use it to calculate the amount of energy in 10g for example. (You can use the equation the specific heat capacity of water to help you)
5. Then you can calculate out how much energy 100m2 of zurich forest has?
All you need is:
Tape measure
Beaker of water
Thermometer (available at school)
Measuring cylinder (available at school)
